Letter: Comparisons harm Mideast peace efforts

Comparisons harm Mideast peace efforts

Nimer Sultany, in his Another Voice, made comparisons of Israel and its leaders to David Duke, Jim Crow and apartheid. Sultany is a Palestinian teaching at Tel Aviv University. How many Israelis are teaching in Saudi Arabian, Syrian or Iranian universities? Israel needs to negotiate with someone who believes that a Jewish state can exist in Israel. Sultany’s comparisons do nothing to further peace, and his falsehoods only serve to promote propaganda.
